This issue is lighter on the metaphor than most of the series has been, but has enough strong relationship moments and excellent characterizations that it will likely still leave X-Men fans with the urge to pump their fists in the air. Read Full Review

I like to be wrong. I was very wrong when I thought initially that nothing could top the events of the previous issue of X-Men: Red. It was a great feeling knowing that Tom Taylor knows how to hit you with a heavy story that genuinely represents what it means to fight for the future of a group of people. Why hasn't this guy been writing more of the X-Men stories? Read Full Review

Taylor has really stepped it up with this issue. Read Full Review

By the way, what a viscously miserable being she is. Calling Rachel Grey "dog girl" is a bit much. I'm not saying it's unnecessary dialogue. Far from it; I thought it was a small but great line that made me hate the character significantly more than before. Well done by Tom Taylor. Read Full Review

X-MEN RED #9 is a fun read, with a lot of action and a lot of quality Jean Grey panel time, but it doesn't deliver a story half as intriguing as previous issues. The plot is so slow that this issue feels disappointingly similar to previous issues. Rachel is supposed to be a major player, but her role is surprisingly small. X-MEN RED is a great series, but this issue will fail to impress dedicated readers. Read Full Review

X-Men: Red #9 was a solid ending to battle with Cassandra Nova. Tom Taylor did a great job using this story arc to build Jean Grey back up as one of most powerful superheroes and the leader the X-Men need. But as Jean was the star of the show it was a shame that the rest of the X-Men took a backseat in the finale of this big story arc. If it wasn't for the small role everyone but Jean Grey played X-Men: Red #9 would've been a stronger end than it turned out to be. Read Full Review

X-Men Red #9 doesn't live up to its potential and serves up yet another disappointing "confrontation" between Cassandra Nova and Jean Grey. Honeybdager, however, is once again a laugh riot and the unsung star of this series. Read Full Review

This continues to be a solid story. Shame it's ending soon.

This is good and I like the characters.

Jean snatches Rachel out of Cassandra's clutches while some strong character work unfolds at Searebro. It's a clear story, it has a solid twist, and there's a laudable positive spirit behind the characterization.

A bit prolonged story but still good with Roge Antonia doing well on art!

If this was a miniseries then it would be amazing but as of now it’s an on going book with same plot, getting Cassandra Nova fatigue. As much as I did love seeing gabby in this book and seeing Rachel and Jean moments (which we don’t get enough of).

It was a...fine issue, but it felt like a filler. It introduced a problem at the end of an issue, and then in this one they solve it. That's it. The fight also wasn't particularly interesting as well, and neither was the twist.
